Thank you! 🥰 everyone is getting scarves this year so I’ve been pumping em out

Merino on my drop spindle

Merino 2-ply in white

Black handspun single

My first handspun and plied yarn in brown and orange

I’ve also ventured into hand spinning on a drop spindle. It’s been a therapeutic exercise in patience.

A Superwash merino shawl in purple, pink, blue, and white.

A handwoven scarf in handspun merino, handspun Rambouillet, and a random synthetic color shifting yarn

Anyways, it’s scarf season

My new daily routine is spending time outside, distracting myself for most of the day, and journaling while I cry. No way but through it.

Forgot this app existed while I was happy

This is to update my market booth to be more whimsical and historically inspired. My new tent canopy is handmade in jewel tones. I have a faerie festival I’m vending next weekend!

Painted my logo on tea/coffee stained fabric. Hemmed it. Currently making cording to hang it while @faeriefoxling.bsky.social crochets a scalloped border for it. Exciting craft night 🥰

Don’t look at my mistakes shhhh

I’m excited to play with the striping :) I’ve only done plain(ish) tapestry and tablet so this is my first time playing with stripes in my warp! I want to learn pattern stuff eventually so just working my way there.

I’m currently renting so I will continue to be very jealous of your floor loom 😭

I’ve been chasing the high of a floor loom since graduating university. I usually weave bands on an inkle so I’m super excited to learn this 😊

Rigid heddle loom is warped and ready to go! This will be my first project on this loom 🥰

What’s that noise? Just me whimpering in bed at 2am from pain.

WHIMPERING.

This is the second ovarian cyst I’ve had rupture in the last month or so and I simply want to die. I’m in so much pain. And I deal with chronic pain 😭

Went to the gym before noon. Came home, took a shower, cooked a meal. Depression? Never heard of her.

There’s so much we could criticize Trump over and yet people still choose to go after his weight.

Get funny.

My mentor cancelled work again today and with my car in the shop, I haven’t been able to be in the studio for three days this week. As a creative, this genuinely sucks. All I want is to be working on my art!!! I HAVE IDEAS TO TEND TO!!!

Todays mood

I have now infected @faeriefoxling.bsky.social for her birthday

How ya doin? Is Karl helping?

Fwiw, I’m covered in visible tattoos and have facial piercings and I feel the same way 😅

They pushed back at my request for them with, “We sent out postcards to our mailing list.” Okay? That’s not enough? It’s not even listed on your website!! This is so unprofessional.

I have an exhibition opening on Friday and the museum holding it won’t give me any of the promotional materials and I’m actually super fed up with this whole thing ughhhh

The half and half overalls are so fucking cute omg

My single remaining pay pig from my SW days funded a new one I cryyyy

I love that the eraser looks like he’s going, “RAWWWRR!”

Fuck nova - someone ‘napped my child off my bag 😭

Me at the boulangerie at bico

I am in so much pain. My entire body. What did I dooooo 😩
